What a fantastic project! Thank you for demonstrating so clearly how to make such stunning prints on fabric and how to turn them into a gorgeous garment. So easy to follow and brilliant design ideas.
Wow!! What a great collaboration. Now I have another craft I want to try. Your tutorials are very thorough and give me a good understanding of what is involved. I am currently focusing on two projects. One is fabric collage wall art. I enjoy collaging the elements and then placing them on my own hand dyed fabric background. I can imagine using this technique of designing and printing the background rather than painting it for a modern more abstract composition. Can't wait to try it. And then the other project I am into right now is making zippered pouches and cross body bags with cork and batik fabric for accent. It would be very satisfying to design and print my own cotton accent fabrics. Now my head is spinning with ideas! Thanks for your inspiration!
Thank you, your projects sound wonderful and yes it would be great for you to incorporate block printing into these also, enjoy, thanks for watching, Sarah
How wonderful! A perfect resource! That tunic with light gray leggings and a bow (to match tunic) would go nicely! Looking forward to seeing more of your prints! 🙌
Really beautiful result, thank you so much for sharing. I love watching your videos, not only are they informative but I find them very relaxing and comforting x
Happy to hear you are enjoying the air dry clay videos still, I really do love block printing and I’m glad you’re inspired, thank you for your support ❤️
Loved this Sarah! The little tunic top is so cute! A fab collaboration. I’ve been meaning to have a play with fabric printing for my own creations, must dig out my Lino tools! Maybe I’ll do an inspired by you project 😁. I would love to see a little play suit / romper made from your hand printed fabric!
Thanks Emma, it was a lot of fun, we still have some extra fabric to make something else 😊 Yes that would be so fun to do some lino yourself…for a UA-cam video too? I’d absolutely love to print some fabric and have it made into a cute jumpsuit for me 👌🥰😊 Cushions next I think though 😂 for the new sofa in the new extension, can’t wait to reveal all on my new channel later this year ❤️
I like how you chose to eyeball the placement of your design elements rather than using a grid template. A spontaneous design works better for me. Measuring things is tedious to me but not doing it does get me in trouble sometimes.😄 Your design is pretty and I like your tertiary colors and all of the white space that you left! It's exciting to not only carve shapes but to find all of the interesting mark-making tools around the house, as you showed. What type of fabric did you use? Thanks for sharing. 💛
How do we buy you a coffee? I love the fabrics you designed, the finished garment looks fantastic. I really liked the second fabric that you weren't so keen on 😃 The printing blocks are all lovely.
Coffee Link: ko-fi.com/redrockingbird 😃 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed, I think I had a certain style in my mind when designing the pattern, but this is why it's so much fun as we can do whatever style we wish 😃
It’s so much fun and so satisfying, I have done screen printing but I don’t currently have the kit for it, but on a T-shirt video I did do my own versions of this on a t-shirt, worth a look ❤️ Enjoy your projects
If you cut a square from scrap couldn't you glue it to the back of the printing block or use a plastic bottle top? I'm going to try this, thanks for the info...
Thanks for reply my question well 2 really is I am a novice watercolour artist and trying different things out so if I wanted to incorporate an air dry clay small embellishment say like a flower what is the best way to attach to paper hot glue gun or pea? And if I used watercolour paint do I need to varnish them ?
Hi Brenda, I’d say pva glue would be better than hot glue, we always just have to make sure we don’t reactivate the watercolour when varnishing, I find that a thin layer of mod podge works well and then add a stronger varnish or spray lacquer over the top of that, I have an air dry clay and watercolour video. ❤️ As you say you are experimenting which is fab, but just make sure you do a test piece first so you know how different mediums react to each other.
What a fantastic project! Thank you for demonstrating so clearly how to make such stunning prints on fabric and how to turn them into a gorgeous garment. So easy to follow and brilliant design ideas.
Thank you, I truly love Essdee products and this was such a fun project to complete, and I love what Audrey created for the finale ❤️😊
Top, what a great idea to make a complete "end" product together!👌💪
Thank you, I’m so pleased how it turned out and it was a lot of fun 😊

Ooo yes that’d be lovely, hopefully I’ll get some more pics of this for Instagram

Thank you Clare, aw I’m so glad ❤️
Excellent clear demonstration by a proficient technician. Well done!
Thank you so much for your very kind comment, that means a lot to me, have a great day
Amazing…seems so doable. Thank you, Sarah!
It really is, just takes a bit of time and the simplest of stamps work so well too 😊
That is absolutely adorable.
Thank you Margaret, it was a lot of fun and I love the finished garment
Absolutely loved your instruction. I will try this as I can always create my own fabric desigs! Fantastic!
Thank you, it really is such fun, I did some with some friends the other week and such fun results too, enjoy 😊
Very cool! Thank you for teaching us how to do that! 😃 What fun!
This is most definitely a very fun craft and I really enjoyed this project, best of luck and thank you 😊
Love this! Would love to try this and sew something for myself. Thanks for sharing!
It’s so satisfying, I hope you do and you enjoy, thank you 😊
Wow! Unique and beautiful!! Well done and thank you for sharing this technique 💛
Thank you so much, that makes me happy 😊
Great idea.

Thanks, eyeballing is the only way for me, I couldn’t be measuring, I like the extra creativity of eyeballing 👁😂😍
This is a 100% cotton…creases a lot!
Excellent👍👍
Thank you 😊
Nice design
Thank you so much

Thank you Anne for the coffee, much appreciated 😊
Love the block printing! As someone else mentioned, this is another project on my list!
Question, have you done any silkscreening projects?
It’s so much fun and so satisfying, I have done screen printing but I don’t currently have the kit for it, but on a T-shirt video I did do my own versions of this on a t-shirt, worth a look ❤️ Enjoy your projects

Yes give it a go ❤️
